it is almost noon on the right coast

I am already fasting

so what is for lunch?

going out for fish and chips

that should be a popular dish today

some people never got over eating meat on friday

they need to get over it

why?

it might help them understand what is important and what is not

 

[chrysostom]

good morning

good morning

so you can't complain about trump

I don't

you call his supporters idiots

they are

is that fair?

they don't understand obama was elected twice

so?

obama is the reason so many are angry

how can that be?

most think he went to far or not far enough

could obama get elected a third time

without a doubt

how?

the republicans are a minority

how did they get control of the house and senate?

most of the idiots didn't vote

Velveeta is great for cooking. The spicy version works well for nacho sauce.

I like it for making most thing with noodles in it. I use it as a thickener (with other bases).

Depending on what I am cooking, I will sometimes use potatoes or refried beans as a thickener.

 

[theophilus]

:thumb: on the refrieds!

I don't understand why we need to thicken
I even make my pea soup liquidy
but
I want my tuna casserole nearly solid
so
I can wrap and freeze without using a container

good morning

good morning

are you shocked?

[Totton Linnet]

Delay, delay, delay

It certainly gives Democrats reason to be a lot more motivated if the right attempts the delay...and it's funny to hear people who consistently opine about following the Constitution actively seeking to thwart a process that isn't unclear by delay.

Oh what a tangled web is politics.

So no appreciation of the irony involved then?

Anyway, the position on the Court is going to likely go to a moderate no matter how you slice it. So it's mostly going to be a way to whip up the electorate. Not sure that favors the right given their numbers and the tendency among moderates who still control the swing vote.

 

[Totton Linnet]

The Senate would also be within the constitution

There's a difference between what you're allowed to do and what you're permitted to do or not specifically denied the right to do. The President is given the task of nominating replacements to the Court. Due diligence in confirmation is worthy of laudatory note, but seeking at the outset to delay in order to deny the President his legal right is something else, whatever you think of the office holder.

That something else isn't laudatory, as commentaries go.

obama's legacy will be ugly
so
why wouldn't it end ugly
this will be the fight
I can see obama shutting down the government
and
I am looking forward to this fight
let's get it on

 

[Town Heretic]

obama's legacy will be ugly

I don't think that's true. Mostly I suspect it will be noted for what it had the power to do and didn't, the promises left without much attempt to fulfill them. But he managed a few things of importance, began a few that mattered. How that washes out in the end...too early to tell.

I am looking forward to this fight
let's get it on

lain: Well alrightee then.

Mitch says the Senate should wait so the people have a voice...he means/hopes the voice sounds, you know, different. lain:

this is an election year
the supreme court is at stake here
many don't understand that
so
let's debate it
this is a fight we need to win
and
we need to win it now

bring it on

 

[Town Heretic]

this is an election year

Reagan made the Kennedy appointment in his last year in office. Should the Senate have objected?

 

[chrysostom]

good morning

good morning

it will be ugly

so be it

can't you stop it?

it will be stopped

that will not be a good thing

it will be a fitting end to seven years of divisiveness

you can't blame it all on obama

pelosi, reid, van jones, emanuel, sharpton, and holder helped a lot

obama may shut down the government

wouldn't that be interesting

is this the fight you want?

yes

you could lose

we must win

This is good news for Democrats. Republicans can not win swing states if the Supreme court appointment hangs in the wind on election day.
